ABSTRACT:
Provided is a cargo lift and transport device which affixes to a frame mounted motor vehicle-to-trailer hitch interface having two mounting positions. The cargo lift and transport device provides a connector that receives and locks into a female-to-female adapter which locks into the female receiver connector of the frame mounted motor vehicle-to-hitch interface. The device provides a second female connector for lockably receiving a male connector affixed to and adjacent a cargo platform. The cargo lift and transport device provides means for selectively moving the second female connector in the vertical plane with enough force to overcome the resistance of friction and the weight of the cargo to be transported. In the first mounting position, the cargo lift and transport device, so mounted, operates to lower the cargo platform to the ground level (H) for loading or unloading of the cargo, and then to raise the cargo platform to a variable, but safe, transportation height (H') of the user's selection. In the second mounting position, the cargo lift and transport device, so mounted, operates to lift the cargo platform from the H' position to a higher variable (H") position.
